Affected Afghans prepare to sue UK government
1 min readAt least 665 Afghans whose highly sensitive personal details were leaked in the database breach are preparing to sue the UK Ministry of Defence, seeking at least £50,000 each in compensation.
Thousands more may now join the legal action, led by Barings Law, after learning their data was compromised.
The British government has only started to inform the Afghan victims about the data breach in recent days, ahead of the reporting blackout ending on Tuesday.
Until the super-injunction was lifted, it also gagged Barings Law, impacting the proposed class action.
